If you haven’t read the details of the Green New Deal, let me save you the trouble: it’s a raging assault on America’s already-declining working-and-middle-class. When Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her fellow Green-Marxists in the Democratic Party put forward their proposal, they made it clear that this program was intended to be used on the “most at-risk” communities in the United States. Thenow-deleted (though it is archived) FAQ section on Congresswoman Cortez’s website specifically outlines the need to “Reverse climate change by fully rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure,

Drain this movement of its oxygen, aka, press coverage and it goes away.That this stunning stupid, anti-American radicalism is given any attention is amazing.Sandy from Westchester is a tool and a fool! The co-sponsors of this bill have identified themselves, so now it’s obvious who not to vote for...EVER AGAIN!

Its like a charge of racism. Do they intend to do all the things overnight that remove ´racial injustice´? Of course not. But it is a convenient tool to beat the hapless opposition with. Interesting to see how Donald turns the tables on this one.

A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation using U.S. Energy Information Administration data for current electrical generation and gasoline consumption figures for the U.S. shows that well over one million additional nuke plants would need to be constructed just to fuel electric cars. That is not even taking into account the location and transmission nightmares involved. Any engineers out there who can back me up on this?

Democrats always ask for more than they know they will settle for, but this time they have truly ´´jumped the shark.´´

People who never pay much attention to them are now paying attention. There is an increasing awareness that the democrats have, in many ways, gone off the deep end. When democrats themselves laugh and make fun of the wackos, you know they are cringing inside!

I hate to be the one to inform you, but...they´re already implementing her plan. The goofy Democrats have already started shutting down the coal and nuclear power plants. An article on Drudge today said that the power grid in the midwest may go critical in the near future and endanger about 65 million people. A previous article described how the natural gas-powered plants were strained by late deliveries during the extreme cold wave recently and resulted in alerts requesting keeping homes below 60 degrees.

Little Miss Tippy Top said this problem was "existential". She has no clue what that word means but she´s right for all the wrong reasons.

Wake up! Stop the lunacy in your area of the country before it gets any worse. If you don´t, we´re all going to learn what the Dark Ages were like without having to read any history books.

Its all about control. If you work, you are more free since you have more wealth. The lefty big government types do not want that. Besides it makes all the loafers feel inadequate, and heaven forbid if we had that. They want to be Lords, and the rest of us as Serfs living in hovels serving them, and they do not care if we live or die. It is modern day feudalism. The Green New Deal takes us backwards, not forwards.

I´m not laughing at the extreme idiocy.Cortez is the look of the democrat Marxist America hating party. Institutions of higher learning, universities, are turning out more just like her so don´t laugh.It sounds ridiculous but there are Trump hating RINOs who are willing to concede parts of this disastrous blunder in the name of bi-partisanship to hate us.Ignore this at your own peril the Republicans should support President Trump is squashing this Green New Deal because I take it seriously. The left owns this so hang it around their necks.

The "Green Deal" is about POWER. The proponents want to create their idea of utopia. We are not to have any voice in the matter, because we are a bunch of stupid deplorables. Only they possess the divine wisdom to "know whats best for us." For them to succeed, they must control every aspect of our lives. They will use whatever force is necessary to suppress opposition and achieve this fantasy.

Whether you call it Socialism or Fascism, it is Totalitarianism. And, every country where it has been implemented has been turned into a living hell for all but the very few in control. It would destroy America.

Punishing the working-class (and nearly everybody else) would be a by product of this lunacy.

All the billionaires in America are not going to pay enough taxes by a long shot to fund the leftist and liberal Democrats so-called New Green Deal that would cost more than all the existing government programs combined.

The Democrats have not said what government programs they would cut to reprogram money into their New Green Deal, but you can bet that the US Armed Forces are their primary target, beginning with abolishing the extreme US Marine Corps and much of the US Army, mothballing the Navy aircraft carriers and support ships, and grounding and disposing of the expeditionary capabilities of the US Air Force.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that the big tax money that the US Government collects every year comes from the vast middle class of Americans who make the country go. While the Democrat snow job claims to be attuned to helping the middle class, in reality their socialist programs are attuned to forcing the middle class to pay a lot more taxes.

Wait’ll socialist Sandy from the block with an Economics degree from Boston College finds out what insider trading is - and how it’s not illegal for people in congress. All it’s going to take is for Sandy to find out how much fun it is to hang out with the really rich people, partying in Monaco during Grand Prix week, etc. She’ll lose her college days social justice morality in a heartbeat.

When Jimmy Carter left office in 1980, the return home to Plains was not easy. His once flourishing farming business was more than $1 million dollars in debt, and he faced the prospect of selling the land that his family had been on for 150 years. Then a friend pointed out that Carter, at the tender age of 56, could expect to live at least until 80-years-old.“I had one disturbing reaction,” Carter wrote in his 1998 book, “The Virtues of Aging.” “What was I going to do with the next 25 years?Let’s just say a lot —

In the latest Tweet storm involving President Trump — this one with George Conway, Kellyanne’s husband — I am glad that the President finally has responded to him frontally. (Snip)But this utterly failed campaign of attempted character assassination and personal destruction that George Conway has been pursuing against President Trump for so long, with such bitterness, so overtly, so viciously, so vituperatively — all while his wife so publicly stands by the President and is known to be one of the President’s highest-ranking confidantes — actually brings shame not to the President but to Mr. Conway.

Liberals apparently chose the polar bear as a poster child for global warming because the bears are considered cute, although no one who had a close encounter with a polar bear would describe it that way. Why global warming would be harmful to polar bears was never persuasively explained, nor was there any explanation of how the bears had survived many climatic changes over hundreds of thousands of years. In any event, it’s time to call the whole thing off. Polar bears are thriving: Polar bear numbers could easily exceed 40,000, up from a low point of 10,000

Two mysterious parties, labeling themselves Jane Doe and John Doe, have filed separate legal briefs in an attempt to limit the public release of personal information that could connect them to an underage sex trafficking operation allegedly run by New York financier Jeffrey Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. Jane Doe, represented by Kerrie Campbell, a Washington-based gender equality lawyer, appears to be a victim who wants to remain unidentified, but indicated she is amicable to the release of some information — as long as it doesn’t identify her, court documents filed this week show.

After nearly three years and millions of tax dollars, the Trump-Russia collusion probe is about to be resolved. Emerging in its place is newly unearthed evidence suggesting another foreign effort to influence the 2016 election — this time, in favor of the Democrats. Ukraine’s top prosecutor divulged in an interview aired Wednesday on Hill.TV that he has opened an investigation into whether his country’s law enforcement apparatus intentionally leaked financial records during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign about then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort in an effort to sway the election in favor of Hillary Clinton.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin said Tuesday that he deliberately exposed his nine children to chickenpox in lieu of vaccinating them, actions that follow reports of an outbreak of the contagious disease at a Roman Catholic school in a northern part of the state. “Every single one of my kids had the chickenpox," Bevin told Bowling Green radio station WKCT. "They got the chickenpox on purpose because we found a neighbor that had it and I went and made sure every one of my kids was exposed to it, and they got it. They had it as children.

It happens pretty much the same way every time. The day after I’ve partaken in some sort of weekend or holiday eating-and-drinking binge—i.e., the Monday after the Super Bowl, the fifth of July, the first week of January after the entire Thanksgiving-through-New Year’s season officially comes to a close—I engage in the same detoxifying, repenting ritual: the consumption of a fresh, nutrient-rich salad. Somehow, in my mind, the more vividly green the leaves in the salad, the more purifying the ritual will feel, and with that first crunch on a crisp piece of greenery,

When Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke arrived for a campaign stop at Beancounter Coffeehouse in Burlington, Iowa, he hopped right up on the shop’s counter and addressed the masses below. During a visit to Narrow Way Cafe in Detroit, Michigan, O’Rourke grabbed a microphone and scrambled up onto the counter. At Sing-A-Long Bar and Grill in Mount Vernon, Iowa? You bet he got up on that counter. Critics have accused O’Rourke of running on a vague political platform. But there’s one platform the Democratic hopeful openly stands on: the sturdy countertops of Midwest cafes.

The lawyer for the 16-year-old girl who state prosecutors now say was the victim attached to the mysterious plea deal given to multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein says neither he nor his client was ever informed that it was her case that ended Epstein’s prosecution. The victim, who is now 31, wasn’t among Epstein’s youngest victims, but she was among those who were more brutally sexually assaulted, repeatedly, by both Epstein and others, according to records reviewed by the Miami Herald. “I was never told that any of my 16 victim clients were part of Epstein’s charges in state court,’’

Not long ago, a 4-year-old boy died of the flu. His mother, under doctor´s orders, watched his two little brothers like a hawk, terrified they might get sick and die, too. Grieving and frightened, just days after her son´s death she checked her Facebook page hoping to read messages of comfort from family and friends. Instead, she found dozens of hateful comments: You´re a terrible mother. You killed your child. You deserved what happened to your son. This is all fake - your child doesn´t exist.

When the newly elected Rep. Ilhan Omar kicked off her acceptance speech with “As-Salaam-Alaikum,” I felt a space of belonging. There was a feeling that American Muslims had arrived—but what arrived with them, and which version of Islam was going to be represented through her and fellow Muslim freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib? As-Salaam-Alaikum means “peace be with you,” but how Omar has carried herself in the weeks that followed has been anything put peaceful. Here’s a quick rundown of her recent actions. Omar accused American Jews of holding dual loyalty toward Israel. However, there was no word

KNOXVILLE, Iowa — It’s caucus season here in Iowa, and Democratic presidential candidates are swarming the place like flies at a cattle barn. We’ve talked policy with Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand over beers, and watched Kamala Harris work the crowd at a bar in Indianola. We’ve been in what once would have been “smoke-filled rooms” with Steve Bullock and Cory Booker. We’ve been stuffed into what seemed like enormous mosh pits oozing with adoring fans of Elizabeth Warren. The Iowa caucus offers Democrats an opportunity to hone their pitch to rural America.

Wednesday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Meghan McCain responded to President Donald Trump’s ongoing criticisms of late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). McCain said, “I think if I had told my dad seven months after you’re dead, you’re going to be dominating the news and all over Twitter, he would think it was hilarious that our president was so jealous of him that he was dominating the news cycle in death as well. Do not feel bad for me and my family. We are blessed.” “We are a family of privilege,” she continued. “Feel bad for people out there who are

Sen. Elizabeth Warren explained at a townhall meeting sponsored by CNN in Jackson, Miss., on Monday night how God picks some people to go to heaven and others to go to another place. She did this after she was asked by moderator Jake Tapper what role faith plays in her life. After saying that she was raised a Methodist and used to teach Sunday school, Warren said: “The story for me is Matthew 26, and I´m sure some of you, a lot of you know this story. You know, this is the one where the shepherd is dividing the world

RUSH: I also got an email during the break. “Rush, Rush, what do you think of this George Conway situation?” Folks, this is so unseemly to me that I don’t quite know what to think about this. So much of this is inexplicable.[Snip] CALLER: Yeah. I think George Conway is the one who’s got problems. George Conway’s the one who’s dealing with narcissism. George Conway’s the one who’s got terrible, you know, uhhh, Small-Hand Syndrome or whatever you want to call it. George Conway —

OLATHE, Kan.—Soon after Jim Hildenbrand arrived in Avignon Villa Homes, a community for older adults in a Kansas City suburb, the homeowner association disputed the placement of his satellite dish. It cited him for parking cars in his driveway overnight and placing a St. Francis statue in a flower bed. He was later written up for a dead cat in a window well—which Mr. Hildenbrand suspects was planted by a neighborhood enemy. Things went downhill from there. After he installed a decorative, shin-high wall around a plant bed on the side of his house,

A federal judge ruled that the Interior Department violated federal law by failing to take into account the climate impact of its oil and gas leasing in the West. The decision late Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in the District of Columbia marks the first time the Trump administration has been held to account for the climate impact of its energy agenda, and it could have sweeping implications for the president’s plan to boost fossil fuel production across the country. Contreras concluded that Interior’s Bureau of Land Management “did not sufficiently consider climate change” when making decisions to auction

The battle over the admissions standards at New York City’s elite public high schools has heated up again. After having failed to change the standards last year, Mayor Bill de Blasio is back at it, this time with some backup from celebrity freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As usual, their impassioned pleas about the lack of black and Hispanic students completely ignores that it is Asian, not white, students who would bear the brunt of the proposed changes. At issue is the fact that these hyper-competitive high schools consider only a test score in deciding admissions

It appears it really will be another promise made and another promise kept by an American president who continues to confound his enemies and delight his tens of millions of supporters both in the United States and around the world.Via The Washington Examiner: The Defense Department has identified $12.8 billion in possible funding that it could use to fulfill President Trump’s call for a border wall. (Snip) said he wants to use $3.6 billion for border wall projects. The Pentagon’s list said it has found possible funding sources that are “in excess of the amount needed.”

Senator Cory Booker got his sanctimonious platitudes mixed up yesterday in an on-air interview with Chris Matthews yesterday on MSNBC. The topic was "hate" and the unspoken target beyond obvious, so perhaps secure in the knowledge that there would no probing challenges coming his way from MSDNC, he put his brain on auto-pilot as he activated the synapses, leading to his store of vaguely profound-sounding empty banalities. In an age of anger, the man who carelessly called himself "Spartacus" now poses as a great healer, hoping to distinguish himself from the large and growing field of Democrats seeking the Oval

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is running again to be president of the United States, and although he lost the Democratic nomination in 2016, he hopes to earn the mantle this cycle and bring his brand of socialism to power. One thing he hopes to do better on the road to the White House is to do a “better job” explaining socialism. “I think what we have to do, and I will be doing it, is to do a better job maybe in explaining what we mean by socialism — democratic socialism,” Sanders told National Public Radio’s (NPR) Morning Edition

On Tuesday longtime Fox News host Sean Hannity welcomed former Democrat National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile to the network by inviting her onto his show, “Hannity,” so he could grill her to smithereens in a fast-paced “lightning round” debate over various issues. The scorching, oftentimes hilarious grilling started right away thanks to the former DNC chair’s refusal to stick to the “lightning round” rules and keep her answers sweet and to the point.“Medicare for all is going to be $3.3 trillion for every year for ten years. And people like Kamala Harris say that people would have no choice at

Former interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile was full of posthumous praise for the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Wednesday’s edition of Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier. The context was President Trump’s renewed criticism of McCain after a newly-released deposition showed how deeply McCain was involved in the fraudulent “Russia dossier” that has been used to attack the administration and divide the nation. Brazile, who Fox News recently hired as a contributor, began by criticizing the president for speaking ill of the dead. She then continued: “John McCain leaves a legacy. He leaves a legacy of
